    both drivers will claim they had green, not a thing anyone could do to prove it.

    And thats what I was trying to say, it is possible that that can happen. Not common but not unheard of either.
    Just requires the lights to be re-set up when it does.

    first one makes me wonder was the client told.

    In the second one the camcar was over the double lines, the other car waited for the end of them and then overtook without checking mirror , Both poor drivers

    Take out the advertising and the wrong lane at a roundabout and there is about 2 mins of clips worth bothering to look at

    It was, and rightly so too. Only so long society can go on with these guys knowing they just have to jump on a bike and they're away scot free.

    Yep it was. London is rampant with moped gangs. Police have taken on a tactic now to stop them with force. Good enough for the rats.

    100%. I'm a motorcyclist and there's tons of reports on UK motorbike forums of bikes being stolen in London, sometimes even hijacked by these lads on mopeds. It's mad.

    The one at 3:04 they’d plenty of chance to let them in.

    Half those clips caused by the cammer speeding up to cause the situation!

    I don't watch those UK car cam videos anymore. When I see a new post on this thread I come here hoping to find that it's Aussie, Russian or Polski Drogi stuff., only to find that waste of space.

    Anything that needs clickbait stuff like "OMG" of "HUGE CRASH" with loads of shocked emojis can fuck right off.

    I think the lack of "spectacular" crashes from the UK sites, is basically showing just how safe the roads there actually are, despite the morons who get their "15 seconds of fame" on a youtube channel.
    The Stop Cham videos tend to show that Polish drivers will not back down, even if their actions will cause a crash, because they're "right!" and will crash to enforce that right.
    It seems to me that about 90% of crashes recorded are caused by one or more drivers simply not paying attention, the remainder usually caused by drivers who disregard the rules and get owned, more so in Russia it appears.

    Maybe the lockdown is having a big effect on the traffic volumes, so fewer incidents.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,056 ✭✭✭Silent Running




    Some of the HGV cams are very entertaining though. :D

    There's less of the "driving to get a video" thing going on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,145 ✭✭✭✭GBX


    Think Stop Cham is one of the best channels on youtube

    Suburban Nashville according to YouTube.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-A3_lR-RQE

    It would be interesting to find the street on Street View to see where he would have ended up.

    [No location yet, but I have a name :)]
    In metro Nashville, freezing rain and snow have kept many locals inside, but some, including Adam Schwegman, had to leave their homes despite the weather. The Franklin dad was headed to pick up his daughter from a sleepover before he became a victim of the black ice that has blanketed most of the area roads this week, according to CNN.

    The dad said the Nest video that captured his slide down the hill near his home did not show the thick sheet of ice on the street. He estimated that his Ford pickup slid about 150 yards before it came to a stop.

    He feared it would crash, but he said he remained cool as the ice took him for a ride. Once the truck stopped, he was able to drive slowly and carefully to snag his daughter from her friend’s house. When the man returned home with his daughter, he told CNN that he learned his lesson and parked at the bottom of the hill.
